Use ldd on scipy/linalg/flapack.so to see what shared libraries it is
trying to link with. It should also show you exactly which .so files
it manages to find for the given library. You will probably see that
scipy/linalg/flapack.so is looking for libgfortran but not finding it.
If not, then keep using ldd on the found shared libraries until you
find the culprit. That is the library that was accidentally built with
gfortran.
If it's scipy/linalg/flapack.so, then look over your build log again
(and rebuild if necessary). Look near the beginning where
numpy.distutils is telling you what Fortran compilers it is finding.
